    Yes it was an attempt to weaken hurricanes. I dont know why that's funny.

    And I've already answered your bolded question several times.

    This is wild lmao

    What I've heard from "maga" is what I used to hear from old school liberals from Marin County... you don't need to go see a doctor if you feel healthy. Annual blood-work at the most and you can even skip those every couple of years. But if something is hurting you and it's not getting better then you see someone.

    You shouldn't take the one or two obscure people and generalize everyone.

    Did I say the government made Milton? No.

    Did I say they tried making Milton stronger? No.

    Did I say the government has tried to control/modify the weather after a couple people tried implying they don't/can't? Yes.

    Did I give several examples of that, using government sources, that were dismissed as conspiracies by Kamala supporters? Yes.

    Are some trying to backtrack now (like you) saying "oh I know about cloud seedong too hurr durr"? Yes.

    So you don't believe the govt. Is controlling Milton. Then why are you talking about govt putting dry ice in clouds?

    You are trying to sane-wash. Cloud seeding has no place in the discussion. Trump and MGT are crazy and talking like crazy folks do.

    The talk of it all started back as an attempt to sane-wash crazy statements. It was brought into the thread many posts back. It didn't belong here in those earlier posts.

    It has nothing to do with the crazy, insane, unhinged accusations by MGT and by Trump.

    No it started when people said the government can't modify weather and I saidtl they actually do. Then folks ran with it as if I said the US government engineered these hurricanes to attack Florida. It's okay to admit those folks were entirely off base in their dumbass generalizations

    People didn't start randomly for no reason, claiming that government can't control the weather. People said that in response to the crazy claims that the govt. Was behind Hurricane Milton. The crazy claims about the government being responsible for the Hurricane.

    People responding to that craziness made the comment about govt. Not controlling weather.

    Rather than stick to the topic you went on a Trump sane-washing episode trying to show stuff not at all related to the insane idea that the govt was responsible for the Hurricane.

    Those are my parents. Not randos.

    I'm also a program director at a private gym in a red district. I hear clients of mine discuss how they don’t trust doctors anymore and prefer to do their own “research”. These are wealthy individuals and this mindset is widespread in this area.

    Nah people said the government can't control/modify the weather and I simply said there are ways they can, which is 100% true. Not my fault people are so politically deranged they can't separate the two and realize it was just a simple fact and not an endorsement of anybody.

    Nobody mentioned government couldn't control weather out of the blue. It was mentioned in response to insane statements.

    This thread reminds me of why I quit D&D and only drop in a few times each year to see what current atrocities are happening.

    Nah you are saving face. It was always in the context of the government sending hurricanes.

    Stop being partisan, you look like a fool.

    Nah. Like multiple posters have pointed out.... no one was talking about the government controlling the weather until MAGA brought it up in the context of hurricanes.

    For whatever reason (obviously partisan), you are wanting to die on the "well actually" hill....

    Lmao. I didn't post anything partisan. And you want to call me a fool.

    you had a lame ass gotcha attempt when trying to say "haha project stormfury was where the government tried to weaken hurricanes" as if I said anything about them trying to strengthen them to harm Americans. You made that BS up in your head.

    I'll let you have the last word. This is dumb as hell.
